SGeRAC toolkit Oracle RAC database multi-node package Easy Deployment
To deploy an Oracle RAC database package, click on [Configuration] -> [Package Easy Deployment] -> [Oracle RAC
DB Package] menu toolbar of the Serviceguard Manager home page. For more details, refer to the “
Launching
package Easy Deployment from Serviceguard Manager” section.
The [Oracle RAC DB Package] menu option is available only when:
• HP Serviceguard cluster is running
• Serviceguard A.11.20 plus PHSS_41628 or superseding patch is installed on all cluster nodes
• SGeRAC A.11.20 plus patch PHSS_41642 or superseding patch is installed on all cluster nodes
Once the user chooses to deploy an Oracle RAC database package from the Serviceguard Manager home page, the

database package deployment the user needs to click on the [Apply] button in the same screen showing the
configuration files.

Also, if no disk group (DG-MNP) and mount point (MP-MNP) packages are configured for the storage used by the
Oracle Clusterware files and RAC database files, they will be deployed automatically. The dependency between the
